Volunteer Ottawa was established over 60 years ago as a community builder committed to supporting not-for-profit organizations in Ottawa and surrounding regions. As a not-for-profit organization itself, Volunteer Ottawa understands the needs of its member organizations and continually strives to increase the awareness of the power of volunteerism within the Ottawa community. Volunteer Ottawa links people with community organizations. Our interactive website has hundreds of volunteer opportunities from organizations who need volunteer energy to deliver their critical community services. In addition, Volunteer Ottawa works directly with organizations to support knowledge development and resource distribution on topics integral to the effective and efficient use of volunteer capacity.
